About Chakramard Beeja (Cassia tora Seed)
Chakramard Beeja is the seed of Cassia tora (botanically also written Senna tora), a common monsoon herb of India known in Sanskrit as Chakramarda. In Gujarat it is Kuvadiyo; across the Hindi belt it is Chakvad or Panwar. This 100 g pack is a single-herb raw material sourced and packed by Riddhish Herbals for those who follow a classical Ayurvedic routine.
The plant is a familiar sight after the rains, and its young leaves are eaten as a leafy vegetable in many regions. It is the seed, however, that classical texts single out — valued for its Kaphahara (Kapha-reducing) and Twak (skin) supportive qualities.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Classical Nighantu literature describes Chakramarda as Katu-Tikta (pungent-bitter) in Rasa, Ushna (warming) in nature, and Kaphahara — light and drying in quality. It is grouped among the Deepana (appetite-kindling) and Twachya (skin-supportive) dravyas, as recorded in the Bhava Prakasha Nighantu.
In everyday classical practice the seed is used both internally, as a churna or decoction for digestive support, and externally, ground into pastes as part of traditional Twak (skin) care. These are classical wellness practices, offered here for those who wish to follow them as advised by their own Ayurvedic physician.
